About Impact Hub Berlin

This event is brought to you by Impact Hub Berlin – where change goes to work. Sign up for our monthly newsletter to be the first to hear about upcoming events.

Welcome to Impact Talks!

The word ‘Impact’ has been overused and misused in today’s world of green washing and disinformation.

Through our exciting new online series, Impact Talks, we want to put the meaning back into the word ‘Impact’ by welcoming entrepreneurs and experts who are helping to create real change to speak about the work they do and how others can become changemakers as well.

Join us each month to put some “oomph” back into your lunchtimes and hear from motivating speakers on the topics of:

• Sustainable Food
• Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
• Circular Economy
• Green Tech

These are the focus area of our four ecosystems, where we see the greatest potential for entrepreneurship and collective action. Get in touch to find out more about opportunities to collaborate!

Our speaker this month: Janna Jung-Irrgang from Die Gemeinschaft e.V.

About Die Gemeinschaft e.V… an organisation bringing together gastronomy and farming in a collaborative, inspiring network – We’re changing things. In the fields, in the kitchens & in our minds.

About Janna… “Janna engages with some of the foundations of social transformation – soil and agriculture, community economies and memories of the future. She works towards regenerative food systems at Die Gemeinschaft e.V., community supported economics at the CSX network, and radical climate adaptation at Urban Heat Lab. All while trying to honestly face the consequences of human “progress” stories for climate, ecosystems and social justice.”

About the Talk… The food system is in dire need of a transformation – on the field, in the kitchen and in our minds. Because structures that have been built on the exploitation of nature and discrimination of people can only be changed systemically – through networks and direct relationships, courageously exchanging ideas and creating awareness.

You will get…

• An overview of the concepts of food systems, resilience and regeneration
• An introduction to the work of the food producers’ association Die Gemeinschaft, as well as other actors transforming the food system through networks and education

We will kick-off our new Impact Accelerator, focussing on Sustainable Food Systems this evening and combine it with networking to create even stronger bonds for collective action.

You will meet stakeholders, likeminded makers of the sustainable food scene and our seven inspiring teams, that are fostering a more circular, regenerative and interconnected food system in the fields of fair value chains, regeneration, deep tech, nature positive foods, transparent food systems and sustainable gastronomy.

Why this accelerator? As major social and environmental crises have accentuated the need for more robust food networks that foster resilient systems and food security in the face of an increasingly volatile climate. Meaning, our food system needs rethinking and innovative approaches, which is why we roll out this accelerator to support innovations to create an even greater impact in those fields.

What will happen?

Collaborations between social enterprises and established businesses in strategic partnerships is a complex, risky and challenging process. However, it also has huge benefits to make more impact faster, smarter and cheaper.

In the Impact Nation program, we have developed a methodology together with ABN AMRO and TNW to support social enterprises and established businesses to identify opportunities to collaborate and make more impact faster.

In our session, we invite social entrepreneurs and established companies from the Dutch textile industry to join us for an interactive session to uncover the secrets of successful strategic partnerships.

As a social entrepreneur, you will also learn to speak the language of medium-sized companies from this industry and use this in your sales strategy. As an established business, you can meet innovative entrepreneurs and explore potential collaborations.

After this session you have:

1) New inspiration on the latest impact trends in textile

2) Knowledge on what Open Innovation is and how it can support you in tackling your impact challenges

3) New ideas based on talks with potential partners to actually solve your biggest impact challenges
